It’s great that this beauty escaped the fate of so many grand theatres, demolition.

Were people of color kept out of working as a projectionist in certain movie theatres?

I went to Liberty yesterday (1/29/2020). Was the theatre gutted to the bricks or does anything survive of the old theatre?

I feel sorry for the lady in the ticket booth, having to sell all those tickets with no help.

According to a post from Theatre Architecture on Facebook, the theatre will be demolished.
“It is with great sadness that I announce the impending demolition of the Coyle theater in Charleroi Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh due to a lack of vision by city officials. This is the last theater in the Mon- Valley soon to be gone forever"😥

Would have been cool if they named it Regal Delancey.

Might there be any remnants of the old theatre. Or perhaps it was completely gutted.

I passed by today and saw that the former theatre is available for lease. The furniture store is no longer there.

Is this the theatre by the Pelham Bay 2/5 train? I was on the BX12 bus today and I saw a movie theatre a feet away from the elevated station.

Was it a grand theatre inside? I remember passing by as a kid with my grandmother after church and the lobby was small. This was in the early 1970’s.

The building that house the Marcy is no more, it’s been demolished. I had planned to take some pics from the Jamaica-bound J platform but I didn’t get the chance.

At least when an old theatre is showing ‘smut’ we can get in to see the once grand place. It’s better than having it shuttered and demolished.

I was walking by yesterday and the ‘marquee’ caught my attention. There is now a clothing store, Clothes Horse.

Was this still the interior in it’s later years?
